During the current legislative session in Richmond, both houses enacted a mandate that schools across the state must accommodate transgender (TG) students’ preferences. Guidelines are being written for school systems to follow when implementing the mandate.

What essentially does this mean? TG males will be permitted to use female bath, shower and dressing rooms. Included in the original bill was another clause that allowed TG males to participate in female sports, but that was struck down. The same privileges will be given to female students who are crossing-over to male.

Soon, very soon, your children and grandchildren will encounter fellow students in their school whom they have known to be boys now entering and using girls’ facilities. The same applies for girls who identify as TG males.

If the TG student prefers to be addressed by a certain identifying pronoun such as ‘she’ or ‘her,’ ‘he’ or ‘him,’ or even…

Anyone who would try use hormones and surgery to modify their sex is obsessed. That is not obvious? Of course, it is.

Do adults have a right to attempt to change their sex, even though such an effort is futile? I suppose so, but we know that sex is a physical fact beyond our power to change. Hence, we have this word, “gender”. “Gender” is just another one of those meaningless words coined by those who think they can alter reality if the public consensus supports their pretense. “Gender” is for those who wish to pretend sex is just a social construct.

We have segregated men and women throughout recorded history. Generally, the purpose has been to protect women from predatory men. Because of the natural desire for privacy, public restrooms have been segregated for as long as people could afford the expense. Now among the politically correct this desire to protect the fairer sex is sign of bigotry.

I suggest you look at that picture you posted again. There is a distinct difference between men and women. Ironically, that was the point of your picture. It shows someone who appears to be a man, but the difference between the sexes is beyond the ability of hormones and surgery to change. A transgendered man is not a man. It is fraudulent to pretend that “he” is a man. “He” is a she altered to appear to be a “he”. That is why many who have been “transgendered” regret the hormone treatments and the surgery. When someone tries to change their sex, arguably they don’t know what they are doing, but there is no question that the hormone treatments and the surgery will do them considerable, irreversible harm. Therefore, it is immoral to lend such behavior any encouragement.https://www.beliefnet.com/prayers/protestant/addiction/serenity-prayer.aspx

“We have segregated men and women throughout recorded history. ”
We have learned a lot more about biology in the last 100 to 150 years, than mankind knew in the millenia before. Sometimes it is time to think things over.

It is my understanding, that the vast majority of people undergoing transition surgery do not regret the decision; on the contrary, the suicide rate of these people goes down.

Anyway, to come back to the point of your post, the toilet question. Given your arguments, I take it that in your opinion, Shawn ought to take the women’s toilet. Correct?
